I took this photo focussing on this orange flower that stood out....It looked bland so I cropped it pretty severely to a wide screen panoramic look......

What do you think?

I would do it like this, if my object is the orange flower...

Crop, duplicate layer, blend multiply, opacity 45.

Hope you don't mind I use your picture to illustrate my idea

The Original is too busy... and your main subject is centered and gets lost with all the other clutter. I like Irma's suggestion.

How about this. I chose a crop to this side, as the flower-head "looks" to the viewers left.
